Check out the first piece in the series for the introduction.
Remember, all data in this piece treats the last four games played by all NFL teams.
One quick note on this week’s MS Report: Unfortunately we will not have Air Yards data in this piece. We will resume the rolling four-game graphs (data courtesy of RotoViz’s Josh Hermsmeyer) next week. Instead, I’m adding a quiz for fun.
For weekly analysis using this data, check out our NFL dashboard. I’ll tweet out some interesting findings as well, if that’s your thing.
Also, this data is best used in conjunction with our suite of Tools, especially our NFL Player Models and Trends tool.
Without further ado, here are the graphs. Good luck in Week 12!
Snaps
A guy can’t touch the ball if he’s not on the field. Snap data is more important than a lot of people think. If 80 percent of success is showing up, then we want guys who actually show up on the field.
Targets
Players compete for one ball on a per-play basis and there’s only so much of the pie to go around. Targets are important. Below the pie chart is a line graph of the last four games. This graph should help you spot trends in usage.
Before you look at the data, take this quiz I made. See if you can name each team’s leading receiver (in terms of target share) over the past four games.
And now the data . . .
Rushes
Again, there’s only so much of the rushing pie to go around.
Opportunities Inside the 10-Yard Line
Touchdowns are so critical for success in guaranteed prize pools. Getting opportunities inside the 10-yard line is pretty much DFS gold.
